I think there might be a throttle cable recall on your car. I know there is a recall on the civics...Just a thought!

Besides being your thottle cable it could/maybe be your TB!

i can say that the car use to have a hood scoop and water mixed with debri dirty up the engine bay. i was told to clean the throttle cable/TB area which worked for like a few days.

 

maybe try spraying wd40 on the return spring area on the throttlebody

 

^^^ thats wut i was talking about... i did that and it werked for a few days... anyone else?

 

try cleaning out the inside of the throttle body. Somtimes crap builds up in there preventing the butterfly valve from operating like it should.

 

that use to happen to my 00 si and theres a nut on the front right bottom side of the throttle body try adjusting that and it ahould fix ur problem just a thought

 

hmm didnt say anything on the gas pedal in my Haynes manual on del sol's, i can only imagine that there is no tension on ur cable, id check the cable near the throttle body to see if you have slack in the line. But im just guessing..

 

thanks for everyones responce... keep them comming cuz i will try wutever yall throw at me.

 

Why dont you get a known good TB and try that...

cuz the problem might not be his tb... i had the same problem on my 99 si, where i had to pull the gas pedal out with my foot a little bit, but it went away before i could fix it

edit: and why are all civics on recall?
